Installation

Mounting the wall bracket

Before attaching the wall bracket to the wall, ensure that the remote control has radio contact to the instantaneous water heater from its designated position.
The wall bracket of the remote control can either be attached securely with the included adhesive tape, after stripping off the protection film (as shown in the fig. A3) on a plain surface (e.g. a tile) or with suitable dowels (Ø 4 mm) and screws (as shown in the fig. A4). Dimensions in mm.
When mounting with adhesive tape, ensure that the mounting surface is dry and free of grease and soap.
When using the adhesive tape it is not possible to adjust the position afterwards because of the strong adherence of the glue. Therefore, pay attention to a horizontal alignment when attaching it.
The remote control is magnetically retained at the wall bracket.

Mounting the radio adapter inside a instantaneous water heater
With the CFX, ISX DEX Next S and DSX Touch models, the radio adapter is already installed at the factory.

Before assembling the transmission unit disconnect the instantaneous water heater from the mains supply!
Pay attention to the proper position of the connector!

The connector has to be fitted into the notch properly.
1. Open the instantaneous water heater according to the manual of the appliance.
2. Remove the electronics cover (if present).
3. Plug the radio adapter onto the electronics (see fig. A5 – A8). 4. Snap the electronics cover back on.
4. Replace the bonnet and fasten it.

Initial operation

Make sure that the power supply to the instantaneous water heater is switched on (fuse) and that the display (if available) of the instantaneous water heater shows the latest set value.

After inserting the batteries into the radio remote control (fig. A2), the language selection appears. Select your preferred operating language and confirm with “OK”.
The PIN entry appears (fig. A9).
DEX/ISX/DSX: Enter the first four digits of the Bluetooth PIN and confirm with “OK”. The PIN can be found on or at the type plate of your instantaneous water heater.
MCX/CFX/CEX: Enter the last 4 digits of the serial number. The serial number can be found on the type plate of the instantaneous water heater and in the warranty booklet.

The remote control is now connected to the instantaneous water heater and starts data synchronisation (fig. A10). This may take a few seconds. The remote control then switches to the Main control.
Test the function by changing the setpoint via the remote control and checking the water temperature.
If the registration was not successful, a message appears. Select “OK” to start a new login attempt.

If your device is not found even after several attempts, check the plug-in position of the radio adapter.

Notes:

With no remote control registered or without working radio connection,the instantaneous water heater heats to the prior selected set temperature.

After replacing the batteries, a new registration is not required.
Only register again after performed factory reset or when the remote control display continually indicates “No device connected”.

Maintenance: The appliance detected an error. Select “Info” in the Main menu to get further informations.

ECO mode: When this mode is activated and the unit is operating in an energy-efficient range, this is indicated by the ECO symbol.

Maximum temperature reached: The temperature cannot be increased any further since the set temperature limit has been reached. The temperature limit can be changed in the main menu under “Settings”.

Main menu
Press the menu button to enter the main menu. All function menus and saved values of the appliance can be selected from here (fig. B2).

Automatic (only models with motor valve)
In this menu, two functions can be selected. Automatic either measures the time in seconds via the function “Duration” or the flow of heated water in litres via the function “Fill-Up” (fig. B3). Cold water added at the tap cannot be recorded by the appliance. In order to use the Automatic function correctly according to the fill quantity, it is therefore necessary to set the desired temperature and only turn on the hot water tap.
For each function per user profile, the last set start value is saved and can be activated at any time.

Note: In Automatic mode, the operating functions are limited. When selecting a limited function, an instruction window appears. Select “OK” to deactivate Automatic mode and all functions are freely available again. Tap on “Cancel” to close the instruction window and Automatic mode remains active.

Duration: Under “Duration”, set the desired time and then select “START” to activate Automatic mode. The view changes to the main control where the set time is displayed to the right of the temperature display (fig. B4).
Turn on the hot water tap to start the function and the time starts to count down as seconds. Turning off the tap does not pause the function.

If hot water is already flowing whilst the function is activated, it starts immediately.
To cancel the function, tap on menu button and confirm the message with “OK”.
When the time has elapsed, a message appears. In addition, the flow quantity, if it is being drawn, is reduced for around 5 seconds and then increased again.

Fill-Up: Under “Fill-Up” set the desired water quantity and then select “START” to activate Automatic mode. The view changes to the main con-trol where the set quantity is displayed to the right of the temperature display (fig. B5). Turning on the hot water tap starts the function and the set fill quantity counts down in litre increments according to the flow measurement.
Continued turning off and on of the tap pauses and restarts the function. If hot water is already flowing whilst the function is activated, it starts immediately. To cancel the function, tap on menu button and confirm the message with “OK” or turn off the water flow for a minute.

When the fill quantity is reached, a message appears on the display and the appliance stops the water flow by closing the motor valve. The motor valve stay closed until the message is confirmed at the appliance, remote control or via app.

Turning off the tap is always necessary, the function must therefore not be used unsupervised.
Before using the bath, make sure that the water temperature is what you want it to be.

Hint: The water amount of the last draw-off is stored in the “Statistics” menu. To determine the necessary amount of water for your bathtub, fill it with warm water, then select “Statistics” in the main menu and read out the value of this last drawing. Enter this value in the automatic func-tion “Fill-Up” to use it for the next bathtub filling.

Note: In the event of a power cut whilst the automatic is running accord-ing to the fill quantity, the water flow is stopped by the motor valve. After power is restored the valve remains closed a prompt appears on the display until the prompt is acknowledged by tapping on “OK”.
